The "Little Red Riding Hood" illustration I used last Friday was one of the 41 engravings by Gustave Doré from Les Contes de Perrault, the 1867 edition of Charles Perrault’s fairy tales. Doré (1832-1883) was a French artist, engraver, illustrator and sculptor, who worked primarily with wood engraving. Here are two more of the 41.
